On the 4th of July I am having a hard time with my perception of America and modern times where we have our Vice President telling people that the American Dream is over and not to come to America, stay home and make your home better, that is the message. Kamala Harris just told the refugees to stay home and not to come to America.
100 years ago Americans were creating jobs for the immigrants, and America was selling homes to the immigrants, and America welcomed the immigrants. Even in the 1980s with the success of Reagan my hometown was the fastest growing area in the nation for about 10 years, and everyone enjoyed having the construction jobs, and the real estate jobs, and the banking jobs, etc.
But now, all the jobs are being sent to China and to other nations, and Americans are not creating jobs for the immigrants like Americans did 100 years ago. And like when the Italians built New York City and dug the subways, etc. America used to put the immigrants to work.
We are building high speed trains now in California, and that will create jobs, and we have Sunkist growing oranges, etc, and we are exporting food to China now, etc. We have had a lot of rain and so we have lots of water to grow food in California, etc. We need to hook the refugees up with the Unions so they can help to build the high speed trains and so they can help to grow the food, etc.
And Mayor Bass is helping the homeless, we have 150,000 homeless people in California, it is sad. Oakland and San Bernardino are in bad shape. Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries can help, and the Catholic Church can help, and Mental Health Associations and Wellness Centers, and schools, and job training, etc. And as many homeless people are helped then they will go to work helping the homeless people, I met people who spent their entire lives helping the homeless. And there are Thrift Stores to help the homeless, etc. And we need to have Drug Treatment Camps, etc.
Mexico has a Jewish President now, and good things are happening in Mexico. In 20 years the Americans from Minnesota and from other states will want to retire to live on a beach in Mexico. Mexico is going to be very nice in 20 years. The Mexicans are building high speed trains, and new resorts, and new airports, etc, the Mexicans are very hard workers and Mexico is going to be nice in 20 years and many Americans will want to retire to live on a nice beach in Mexico. And Elvis made a movie in Acapulco, etc, Acapulco will be nice in 20 years.
Europe is rich now, from Tourism, they can simply sell stuff to the tourists to survive, the money is easy. If you own a simple McDonald's restaurant then you can live a good life in Europe. Rich tourists are all over Europe spending money.
And California, New York, Florida, Hawaii, and New Orleans all have lots of tourists, we are blessed. We need to clean things up, and we need to keep our tourists safe, so that we can capitalize on the tourism.
Also, Governor Newsom is lowering taxes for film and television production, etc.
I do not know, they do not want for us to succeed and to inspire people anymore. They do not want inspiring stories of success in America.
I tried to move to Italy, if I could have gotten a job in Rome in 2003 then I would have stayed there. Rome is beautiful, and I love the people in Italy.
Lockheed is working on a new plane, maybe they will manufacture the new planes in the Antelope Valley, which would replace all of the old Shuttle Jobs, which would be great.
Now when one dreams they tell people that they are just spinning their wheels, and they tell them to clean toilets or some other real job and to stop dreaming. It is sad. America was supposed to be a place of freedom and dreams, but I just see 150,000 homeless people right now in California, and Harris turning away the refugees.
And Biden is too old to be President, and Trump is a dirt-bag.
Salute,
Tony V.
